Qin Xiong became the headliner on Fleet Street on the second day of the opening day of the Premier League.

On the sports page, he and Henry became the key figures for Arsenal to get off to a good start. The headline in the "Daily Mail" was: Breaking waste to create points, the Chinese hero shines in the opening game of the new season.

The article commented on Qin Xiong's goal and his points, and he participated in the attack in the other two goals. The two red cards that played an important turning point in the game were also related to Qin Xiong. He caused Jena Si turned two yellows into one red, and Bowyer's red card for fouling him in the penalty area left the field directly.

Last season, the media marveled at Qin Xiong's assist ability, and occasionally "complained" that he deliberately collected assists, but he did not directly count assists in the opening game, which made the media feel sorry.

In the entertainment section, "The Sun" focused on the gaffe that Qin Xiong and his teammate Cesc Fabregas broke out in the casino.

"Arsenal's double stars smugly linger in the casino after the game!"

According to what some casino guests saw and heard, the "Sun" speculated that Qin Xiong might have been drunk at the time, and obviously had "unpleasant" things with his girlfriend and Cesc Fabregas, until he was finally "dragged" by his agent. Walk".

This also triggered Fleet Street's promotion of the gambling characteristics of the Chinese in the international image.

In any case, what happened at the casino was a minor scandal.

Qin Xiong himself did not respond to this. At the Kearney training base, Wenger called Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas to the sidelines during training and asked them about what happened in the casino.

Qin Xiong concealed some of the situation, and only promised Wenger that he would not go to the casino again.To put Wenger at ease.

Wenger couldn't bear to criticize Qin Xiong and Cesc Fabregas, after all, they didn't do anything too outrageous.

Two days later, Arsenal announced a new signing. Alexander Song came on loan from Bastia. Arsenal has the right to buy out. An approach, although it is certainly impossible for the young Song to achieve the same role as Vieira.And this is not that Arsenal can play the role of Vieira with Flaminiga Song. Arsenal just hope that the thickness of the lineup will not be too thin.

At the same time, Chelsea also completed two transactions of one in and one out. Mourinho hired a new midfielder Essien and sent away Thiago who felt that the main position was threatened. Chelsea's actions in the summer are still impressive. People are extremely shocked.They spent more than £5000 million on six players.In addition to the return of Crespo and Carlton Cole on loan, the first team added 8 players, and eliminated more than 10 players led by Kezhiman and Parker, and more than half of them were terminated by the second team.

After Arsenal got off to a good start in the league, they rested for a week and made preparations. In the second round of the Premier League, Arsenal headed to West London in high spirits and arrived at Stamford Bridge!

The London duo will come so early this season.It seems to be an uninterrupted continuation of last season's war.

And Arsenal's strategy of attacking and defending away will be implemented for the first time in the league.

Mourinho couldn't wait to give the defending champions a run for their money, and in his pre-match press conference he assessed Arsenal as a club without ambitions.

"After winning the league, they send away a champion Vieira, and then they buy one or two potential players, Arsenal go into a cycle that we are used to, develop young players, get some results and then stop. forward."

Wenger responded bitterly to Mourinho's comments.

"Chelsea have spent more than £1.5m in the last three seasons and what have they achieved? Is it a success? Some people's comments confuse me."

Game day is upon us.Stamford Bridge is crowded with people, and the outside world is not optimistic about Arsenal.In the post-Vieira era, has Arsenal adjusted to their best condition?It's just that a chaotic Newcastle United team cannot be verified, while Chelsea is stable and strong, with strong troops.

In the player tunnel, Qin Xiong could observe that the Chelsea players seemed to have murderous intent!

Naturally, they were not reconciled. Their near-perfect performance last season ended up as the runner-up, which probably made their holiday a little bit depressed.

The most tragic runner-up is definitely not as dazzling and fulfilling as the most difficult champion.

The repressed anger in Chelsea's generals finally ushered in an outlet.

They are excited to meet Arsenal in the second round of the Premier League in the new season!

Arsenal seemed relatively calm. They were the winners of last season, so they should put on a high profile and pay attention to their opponents psychologically, but they must also have the awareness of the strong.

Players from both teams began to enter the field.

"The London derby at Stamford Bridge in the second round of the Premier League is a well-deserved focus of this round. It has attracted intense attention even in Europe. People want to see the performance of Arsenal and Chelsea in the direct confrontation. Arsenal won the championship last season. , Chelsea regrettably won the runner-up with the highest score in history. Today, Chelsea have a chance to revenge! In the Community Shield match just two weeks ago, Chelsea gave Arsenal a big defeat, and they were still in the neutral position. Today At Stamford Bridge, Chelsea, which has the home advantage, may win more easily, but Arsenal will definitely learn a lesson. Let's take a look at the starting lists of both sides.

The game started and Arsenal took the lead.

Henry flicked the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong passed the ball back to Fabregas, and then he began to run laterally in the midfield, looking for space, while observing Chelsea's posture after the start of the game.

Although Drogba rushed forward to press down, most of Chelsea's players were still in the midfield and did not rush forward, choosing to compress the space in their own half to contain Arsenal's offensive.

Fabregas, Ljungberg, and Qin Xiong directly made a triangle pass, and then Qin Xiong passed the ball to Pires who cut in from the wing, and Pires quickly passed the ball to Henry before encountering Essien.

Henry took a long shot from a distance of 35 yards from the goal!

The football flew into the stands about a meter above the crossbar.

After Henry shot, he turned and walked back, and Arsenal's midfielders also retreated quickly.

Mourinho saw the sloppy end of Arsenal's first attack on the sidelines, and he had a foreboding feeling in his heart! (to be continued~^~)
